5 Best Years of my Life!

We look so young!

Five years ago today we were getting married in Key West.  It's hard to believe that was 5 years ago.  There are times I can't remember what my life was like before you and it's as if you were always in my life and then there are times it feels like just yesterday when we were young and getting married.  In the past 5 years a lot has changed and I wouldn't change a thing about it.  You've given me the most precious gift a person can give anyone.  You gave me Charlie.  I feel our lives are now complete and are just going to continue to get better and better.  You are a wonderful father and a loving husband and I couldn't ask for more.

I love you hun.

Happy 5 years!

(Not) Wordless Wednesday

Today is my 3 year anniversary. That's right. It's been a wonderous and fantabulous 3 full years of marital bliss. And to be honest, I couldn't be happier. My husband puts up with a lot of shit from me. He doesn't deserve it and I don't deserve him. But God Almighty I will thank the Lord everyday for giving him to me b/c he makes me so happy. (And I'm greedy like that).

He is a man who I can be myself around. My nerdy, dorky, quirky, dirty, immature self. Someone who knows the good, the bad and the ugly about me. And for some unfathomable reason, he still loves me. I couldn't have asked for a better man. How I deserve to have someone like him is still beyond me.

So I wanted to take this moment to tell my wonderful husband that the past 3 years have been amazing. You make my life so much better. You actually make me look forward to growing older since I know I get to enjoy our lives together and I look forward to what our future will bring us. You truly are my better half! I love you with all that I am!

And you're super hot.

Now let's go back to Key West!

You Can’t Put a Price on a Spider Picture

So my dad sent me a forward the other day & I got such a giggle out of it I thought I'd share it with you all. The only thing my dad said about the forward was: funny. I couldn't sum it up any better. Silly people make my day & I’m having a bit of blogging block. So here goes (read it, it’s worth the click I swear, & if for some absurd reason you don’t think it ends up being worth it I will allow you to post hate comments on my blog, really, go ahead, I dare you):

Wade & I had our anniversary dinner at Kincaid’s last week & it was delicious & I was tipsy off of wine & mojitos & everything was great in life. It was a fabulous time but Kincaid’s is way too pricey. We had a $20 gift card & still ended up shelling out $85. For only 2 people that is ridonkulous. Haven’t they heard? There’s a recession going on. Get with the program people! Guess this week’s dinners are Easy Mac & Ramen. Thank goodness Thursday is Thanksgiving so I get to eat my parent’s delicious cooking on Thursday & then Wade's mom's cooking on Friday! Yes! Double Thanksgivings!

We also went to see ‘Wicked’ at the Orpheum on Saturday night w/ a huge group of people. I only knew about 1/3 of them but it was a good time. The show was GREAT! I loved it. The only thing that sucked was the Orpheum’s seats. That theater is gorgeous but its seating is very outdated, small, & uncomfortable & it was hard for me to see around the person’s head in front of me (& it’s not b/c I’m a midget, I'm just vertically challenged a little, & the lady's head in front of me wasn't abnormally huge or anything, but the layout just sucks in the theater, I would seriously hate to be any taller than me there though b/c there's NO foot room!)* Anyway, I hope everyone had an excellent weekend & I'll probably be off until after the holiday, so I’ll talk to you then!

Happy early Thanksgiving everyone! As I always say, eat it up! You can exercise later!

*How's that for a run on sentence?

Warning: Sappiness Ahead

To My Better Half…

Two years ago today you gave me the absolute honor of becoming my husband. I don’t know what I did in order to deserve you, but for whatever it is I am so grateful. You are the most wonderful person I have ever met. Even though there are times we get on each other’s nerves, remember that I wouldn’t want you any other way (except for in the morning before you've brushed your teeth and your morning breath brings tears to my eyes). :)

I know I am not the easiest person to live with and I am grateful that you put up with me. I will try to be better at compromising and work at acting less like a “princess” and not dictate the household. Marriage is about working together and it takes hard work, but in the end it is worth every effort so I promise to put my whole heart and soul into ours.

In honor of our anniversary I've made a short list of some of the things about you I am thankful for (reference this at any point when you feel I'm being a bitch):

1. Thank you for giving up your free time and going to school for your MBA. I know it’s not fun for you, but I am thankful for your ambition to succeed and provide a better future for us (and our yet-to-be-conceived kiddo).
2. Thank you for picking up my slack in the dish washing department. I hate doing the dishes and I love it when I see you did them even though it was my turn. :)
3. Thank you for being witty, smart, honorable and loyal.
4. Thank you for making me laugh (even at times I don’t feel like laughing)
5. Thank you for always putting the toilet seat down. I love not having to worry about falling in the toilet. :)
6. Thank you for being compassionate, respectful and ambitious.
7. Thank you for doing 99% of the yard work.
8. Thank you for being my on-call exterminator. I’m so glad that when I yell out “Spider!” or “Bug!” you come to my rescue. You are my super man!
9. Thank you for being funny, kind, caring and thoughtful.
10. Thank you for having the greatest smile, the warmest heart, a great sense of humor and giving me the biggest hugs.

These past 2 years have been wonderful and even though I didn’t think it was possible I love you even more today than the day we got married. I truly believe our marriage is one that has “forever” written all over it and I look forward to what our future together holds. Happy anniversary babe.

Also, Happy Anniversary Tyma's! :) I'll never forget when your anniversary is!

Our first anniversary

This coming Sunday is Wade and my first anniversary. I can't believe it has already been a year since we were living the high life down in Key West and getting married. I wish we could have gone back to the Keys for our anniversary, but we've had so much going on lately with the house remodeling and upcoming trips that it wasn't able to happen this year. Hopefully next year we will be able to trek back down there along with friends and family and make it a big fun celebration!

We have a trip to Des Moines scheduled instead for this year. Wow, Des Moines, Key West, Des Moines, Key West... I dunno, they both sound like a blast! :) Haha, okay, but really today is my Dad's birthday so we will celebrate w/ family tonight and have a nice Mexican fiesta at Los Tres Amigos. Aye aye Margarita! Can't wait to taste your icy delicious tequila! :)

Then tomorrow we are going to get pampered with a suite stay at the Suites at 800 Grand. We got a great wedding gift for a free stay there from our friends, the Knapps. We have a couples massage planned and we will be having dinner at Centro. I've always wanted to try this place and have heard great things about it, so I can't wait. We'll eat our year old cake (I'm sure it will be delicious) and have some tasty beverages and get to enjoy each others company. It should be a great anniversary.

And... Wade got me exactly what I wanted for our anniversary. The top diamond band to finish off my wedding band. So I brought it into the jewelers to have it soldered together and will pick it up this afternoon. I can't wait to get it back. Diamonds are a girls best friend! So true! :) Wade certainly knows how to make me happy. He's a wonderful husband. I can't believe it's already been a year... Time flies when you're having fun! CHEERS!
